    Here's some chatlog fun someone saved.

    This comes from someone operating another affiliate site. I unfortunately cannot reveal the name at this time:

    [13:54] XXXX: Well I talked to a developer, he didnt want me to say his name, though.
    [13:54] XXXX: But he basically said this was all true
    [13:54] XXXX: Brad hasnt shown up to work in like 8 months
    [13:55] XXXX: Jeff Butler apologized to them yesterday in the parking lot for the game not being as good as they hoped. he said he'd help them with references and what not for their resumes
    [13:55] XXXX: Basically they fired over 60 people yesterday, about 30 will stay on and develop Vanguard at Sigil.
    [13:56] XXXX: Since Brad has been gone this guy has been running the show: Our Team
    [13:56] XXXX: And apparently the guy is a dumbass
    [13:56] DCpunk: So, basically, as soon as SOE became co-publisher, he stopped going in to work
    [13:57] XXXX: SOE become copublisher a year ago
    [13:57] XXXX: But shortly after I guess, yeah
    [13:58] XXXX: Nino and a few others are moving on to SOE to develop this new MMO that hasnt been announced yet
    [13:58] XXXX: So is Butler, I'm pretty sure


    So, basically, Brad is a quitter. He has, at this point, lost all clout in the gaming community. McQuaid, you should be ashamed of yourself. You don't know how to pull yourself up by the bootstraps when times get tough.
